Is there a conservative film fund out there?

I'm one of the rare conservative/libertarians in Hollywood, considering establishing a film fund to support like-minded filmmakers. Is there one out there already? If not, anyone interested in such a venture? My company is seriously considering establishing one, or would like to connect with an already existing one. Connections?

    Kick start is for everyone. If your idea has merit people will help. What we don't need is a conservative "arts council.

    I'm a retired Army Officer (Lieutenant Colonel) who took my oath to the Constitution seriously....and continue to do so. I'm probably more libertarian than Republican.

    Good site....but they're a non-profit and it appears they make lower budget stuff. We want to establish the same type fund, but for bigger budgeted projects that will potentially provide a return on investment for investors....we are pro-capitalist, right? :-)

    You should look into MPI (Motion Picture Institute) @ http://www.thempi.org/

    From the site: Founded in 2005 by human rights advocate Thor Halvorssen, the Moving Picture Institute is unlike any other foundation dedicated to promoting the ideal of liberty. At MPI, we believe that film, more effectively than any other medium, can bring the idea of freedom to life.
